Short-sided in a greenside bunker? Here’s how to get up and down
**Out of the Bunker: Handling the Short-Sided Greenside Bunker**
Golfers often encounter trouble when trapped in a greenside bunker, especially when faced with a short-sided lie. This challenging position, where the pin is located far from the player’s location on the green, makes it difficult to escape successfully.
To overcome this obstacle, skilled golfers rely on specific techniques. Using a wedge with more loft, players can create a high, soft shot that will land softly on the green and roll towards the hole. Alternatively, a running shot, where the ball is played along the ground, can provide more precision and control.
By selecting the appropriate club and executing the shot with finesse, golfers can navigate the short-sided bunker and salvage their score. These techniques empower them to escape the sand and give themselves a chance for a successful up-and-down, ultimately leading to a lower score.
